The wiki page about Climbing (Climbing - OpenStreetMap Wiki) proposes to add “natural=*” to all climbing objects that are located in natural sites: routes, crags, blocks.
This makes some sense because it adds information about the nature of the climbing site. However, it also introduces confusion for data users, who apparently have difficulties in deciding which tag comes first between climbing=* and natural=*.
For instance ID chooses to depict these objects as rocks instead of crags or climbing routes. OsmAnd chooses to create two objects from one OSM node: a rock and a climbing site.
To avoid these confusions and make it easier for data users, shouldn’t we remove the suggestion to add natural=* from the wiki page?
